third game controller button / middle mouse button...

[mithrendal]

( screenshot AmigaTestKit-1.20/AmigaTestKit.adf )

until now we only got two buttons on a game port ...

      vamiga->controlPort1.mouse.setLeftButton(pressed==1);
      vamiga->controlPort1.mouse.setRightButton(pressed==1);

we need one more ... to be able to press the 3rd (CD32) gamepad button or mouse middle button...

this is a requested feature of eab member @aZtOcKdOg for reference https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=1571921#post1571921

found a list of games supporting 2nd button http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=57540

@aZtOcKdOg do you maybe know where the middle mouse button is used ... or if it is used at all on an Amiga ?

The middle button is used to show the volumes list in ASL requesters. It can also be bound using FKey.

I will do a few tests today and report back. A few productivity apps can use middle mouse button but I will test if it correlates to the 'third' gamepad btn!
